Steve Jobs + Arnold Schwarzenegger + Greek Γιαγιά = Ζωή

Ιnspired by his brush with death last year, Apple CEO Steve Jobs on Friday made a surprise appearance at Stanford's Lucile Packard Children's Hospital to describe how a liver transplant saved his life — and why patients with less wealth and fame should have the same opportunities.

"I was almost one of the ones that died waiting for a liver in California last year," said Jobs, whippet-thin but healthy. He appeared at a brief event with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to unveil a new legislative effort to greatly expand the number of California organ donors.

In his first public description of his much-rumored but long-secret crisis, Jobs said "there were simply not enough livers in California to go around, and
my doctors here advised me to enroll in a transplant program in Memphis, where the supply-demand ratio of livers is more favorable than it is in California."

"I was very fortunate," the notoriously private Apple icon shared with an audience of doctors, transplant patients and media. A Tennessee donor was a match — and Jobs had a jet available to rush cross-country within the four-hour window needed for successful surgery. "Many others died waiting to receive one."

Jobs' decision to advocate for greater organ donations was applauded by the governor.

"Steve Jobs was very instrumental in getting us here today," the governor said. "He put the pressure on us to get this bill going."

Happily recounting the events that led to the bill, a smiling Schwarzenegger said last Christmas, Jobs "talked to my wife about his transplant and then my wife talked to me about it, and I talked to him about it, and we had these great phone conversations back and forth and now here it is reality — we are introducing the bill."

Λογικό. Πολύ λογικό. Μπράβο στο Steve Jobs και σε όλους που κάνουν αυτές τις προσπάθειες. Τώρα μόνο να πείσουμε τους δικούς μας "ειδικούς" εδώ στην Ελλάδα να μην σκοτώνουν 12μηνα παιδάκια, έφηβους, ενήλικες και γέροντες χωρίς λόγο, γι αρχή και μετά βλέπουμε και για τις δωρεές οργάνων.

Γι ακόμη μια φορά, μπράβο σε όλους που κάνουν αυτές τις προσπάθειες εκεί στο Αμέρικα.
